On top of fear of looking stupid, my bigger concern is lack of novelty in my work. Seems like any idea I have for a blog post or book, or any photo I'm planning has already been explored in depths by someone else. I know the joy is in the process mostly, not the result. But doing something while knowing it is certainly not original make it really hard.
It probably has. It's super difficult to be truly unique in a world where billions have learned to read and write. It doesn't matter however. The people who see your work haven't seen/read everything out there. You can be unique for them.
You shouldn't disregard that even when you have the same intent as someone else, you work your way to get there, and that's usually more than enough to build a distinction.
The website of the blog post describing kde.org has the "Powered by Jekyll..." footer. The actual kde.org website that the blog post is talking about, does not.
Because (per the creator) a more stable release will follow.
If people are interested (the people who are upvoting), they can provide suggestions/feedback and possibly get involved with the project in some capacity.
Im candidly wondering how hard it is to understand this foreign concept.
